This blog is long due so let’s get on with it.
The beginning of May I was invited to go on an educational trip to the Big Game Parks of Swaziland. These are: Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Hlane and Mkhaya. I was so excited that this trip was organised because until now I never had stayed without [...]
Finally I made it to this stunning place that has been on my to-do list for at least the last year. It’s not a place to go to if you a last-minute weekend-planner because it’s fully booked all the time. So I was pleasantly surprised when I phoned last Monday and managed to get in [...]
